An image sensor includes a first transfer gate formed over a substrate, and including a first projection; a second transfer gate formed over the substrate, neighboring the first transfer gate, and including a second projection; and a floating diffusion formed in the substrate, and partially overlapping with the first transfer gate and the second transfer gate, wherein the first projection and the second projection face each other.

Image sensor including dummy patterns positioned between adjacent transfer gates

An image sensor includes one or more first unit pixels. Each of the one or more first unit pixels may include a first photoelectric conversion region including first photoelectric conversion elements arranged in the form of a matrix, and a first floating diffusion region at a center of the first photoelectric conversion elements; a first transistor region including a first active region in which a first reset gate, a first select gate and a first drive gate are disposed; a first signal interconnect electrically connecting the first floating diffusion region to the first drive gate; and a first shielding interconnect separated from the first signal interconnect and extending parallel to the first signal interconnect.
